My College Graduation Day

I had this one conversation with a friend who asked me "Why do you blog?" 
One of the reason why I am doing this is that I am able to type significant and gist words that has happened to me. And guess what.... ... this day has been one of those significant happenings.

I woke up past 8 in the morning and as I open my eyes, I felt a mini heart attack. ... for the first thing I thought was that I'm already late! Hahahaha Calm down, my graduation starts at 12:30pm. I haven't set my clock to alarm me or any possible thing to wake me up (because in my whole, or maybe half, college life, i would just turn it off and i tell you, it's useless). 

To cut the story short, I am not late. Yehey. I didn't graduate with flying colors yet I graduated with colored hair. Booooooo. Goodbye, school rules! I may not have any award but I have my whole family with me plus my aunt, uncle, cousin, grandmother and grandfather. Biggest delegation Award!! Thank You Lord for putting me into a family who is supportive in all levels! The gifts I have received is only a freebie compared to the love I am always given. Thank you also to my relatives who are million miles away from us. Though you are not here, I know you were all with me in Spirit! :')

To conclude, this day has been a Hug Day! I love all those people whom I hugged and kissed and had a picture of. Ehem ehem, aking crush!!! Hahahaha

Anyway, if you, yes you who are reading this happen to open this post, I would like to grab this opportunity to request you to pray for me for my next challenge in life: Pharmacy Board Exams. I have a lot of feelings now. Idk anymore. I'm working on it. But, if you do so, thank you in advance! :*



Outfit of the day!

Texts and Prints

Exactly 5 days from now, *drum roll please*, i am finally graduating!! Hooray! I will not use the popular phrase of fervor: "I can't wait!!!" because literally, i have been waiting for that day ;)

Last week, we had our Simulated Board Exam/ Mockboards and mind you, all of the areas (6 areas) really mocks at me, as if i don't know anything in my four years of studying Pharmacy. But God is really good and I thank Him for answering my prayers, for the nth time. I passed it, ofcourse with the Grace of God. He wouldn't allow His children to fail. ;) Hihihi. The moment I knew that I passed it, i texted my father "Pasa ko sa mockboard! Praise the Lord!", and then he replied "K. Wala gid ko doubt ate. Kay prayer guid na namon". It's uplifting to know that I have people who are on bended-knees for me and my future. I call them "my Prayer Warriors". Sometimes, we doubt the capacity of ourselves to achieve something but we should always remember that we need not to doubt the God who can make all these things possible, so I bring back the glory and praises all to Him!


Recently, I applied for the position of associate text editor for our yearbook, SPARK 2013, which I've been planning to join when I'm still on my junior year. Luckily, i got the job.(Char, kung maka-job! Hahaha)

For our first task, we prepared for the pictorials of our co-graduates. As I saw the pictures, I am in awe of how some of my nerdy-looking friends majestically turn out reciprocally to what I see them. And also, I must say that we've chosen the best photo company. It's an exhausting yet fun job for our first week, not only because we have gotten free lunch, snacks, frame, and a condescending feeling to have unlimited shots to choose from but also a win-part of gaining new friends as you exit the portals of the college.  And yes, meron kaming sweldo and transpo allowance!! Wooo! Little did they know that I my apartment is just a walk away (BWAHAHA).  Just yesterday, 76th Araw ng Davao, we had a seminar at the printing company (where we will collaborate as a team) about how to make THE yearbook. As the text editor, I am assigned to gather datas of students which will cover up the whole page of each one and literally edit if there's something that is needed to be. (Name, address, affiliates/memberships, awards, and their metamorphosis). I have seen a lot of yearbooks from different universities and colleges and it was amazing to see how it evolved from the many years. I have been into prints on tshirt and it is a different happy feeling to get an encounter with prints on papers. I'm still thinking of ideas of how I can share some creativity to get our yearbook as pleasing and representing on behalf of SPC BATCH 2013.


Funny how they still have some old apple products which are alive and working.







Documents from different universities composing the datas.


My favorite package which I will propose on ours. This one's of La Salle, I forgot where. Lol


How i wish. Hahaha


The working area.




Batch 2013 RIPRIZIIIIINT!

DIY: Ferrero Rocher Bouquet

In the middle of the last "hell week" of my college life, studying for the mock board exams which really seem to have mocked at me, I still had time to make this crafty gift for the blooming of the womanhood of my sister. I had really a hard time thinking what to give her (or surprise for her) as a presumable obligation of an eldest. Good thing this idea popped my mind, out of the blue: THE FERRERO ROCHER BOUQUET. As much as I would like to give her an expensive gift, I can't. Because firstly, I am broke. And secondly, i am still broke. 

If you're a chocolate lover who doesn't love to spend much, this one's for you. If you happen to go on some chocolate-business outlets, you can buy one for almost a thousand bucks. (Don't let those deceive youuuuu!)  I've gotten this handy without spendin' a lot of monehhhh, so you can, too. DIY ( DO IT YOURSELF). So, to make your sweet tooth and eyes pleased, let me run down how I made this fancy bouquet.


Before letting you know how I did it, i want you to see a file- closer to what Ferrero rocher is. Click THIS FOR THIS SHALL MAKE YOU FORGET THE WORLD

Isn't it yummy? ~=P

Okay, here it goes. ... 

First, you need to have skills, skills that are acquired for a very long career - NO. You just need time and desperation to do this with: Tissue wrapping papers, clear cling wrapper, tape, scissors, bamboo skewers, ribbon and the ferrero rocher chocolaaaates.



 Pierce the bamboo skewer halfway, upwards. Then wrap the chocolate all the way through the bamboo skewer with a clear wrap, tightly. After that, lock it with a tape. Be sure that no spot will allow air to pass through and a spot wherein ants could probably get into.





 Fold a tissue and put atop the chocolate. Wrap around, with a tissue wrapping paper, the chocolate and again be sure to secure it with a tape



I added apiece of tissue wrapping paper around each chocolate then wrapped all the skewed chocolates. Ribbon it and VOILA!!



Ofcourse, do not forget your additional gift, which is inedible



I put this gift inside our closet for it to look like a surprise to my sister. I am the sweetest? I know. 

Thank you, Jesus, for the life of my sister! And for making me prettier than her. Hahahaha
